Be proud – in uniform: A recent photo posted on the Israeli military's international Facebook page is causing a positive cyber-stir, as it aims to express the army's support for gay soldiers, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday.
The photo, which depicts an Artillery soldier and a Givati soldier holding hands, carries the caption: "It's Pride Month. Did you know that the IDF treats all of its soldiers equally?"
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that the photo was taken as part of Israel's gay and lesbian community's Pride Month events, with the full cooperation of the featured couple.

> “Make no mistake, the IDF’s embracing of Gay Pride is the direct result of Obama forcing gays on the US Military and his repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
I enjoy 0bama-bashing as much as the next guy here, but Israel has allowed openly homosexual soldiers to serve for almost 20 years now.
Sodom and Gomorrah is Gods Urban REnewal plan
“But we should stick to the facts and not our feelings.”
Not feelings, but just the fact that an Army of Sodomites could not protect a nation.
And we are talking about the Israeli Army.
Then you tell us when the IDF began allowing homosexuals to serve openly. I’ll be waiting.
If that were the case with the IDF for 20 years, the Israelis would not have been winning wars.
What wars has Israel been involved with in the last 20 years? I can only think of the deal Lebanon 4-5 years ago right off the bat.

It’s not worth arguing - He’s a parody of the “conservative” position, and likely doesn’t believe half the stuff he writes on here anyway. Surprised people haven’t caught on to his schtick.
You’re right. Like the left, facts don’t matter.
. My gut feeling is he is possibly gay and is using a "back door" argument(no pun intended) to further the homo agenda.
His comment: "if that were the case with the IDF for 20 years, the Israelis would not have been winning wars. to say "see it does not matter they had homos in their ranks they have done ok the last 20 years"
.He is just twisting the argument...
I see - devil’s advocate. Thanks. I’m forewarned now.
Reverse psychology is the word I wanted to use...
.Not sure if gay or or just trolling for laughs and/or wanting to be difficult.
That's my guess. These sorts of absurd/devil's-advocate/reverse psychology kind of posts go beyond just "gay" topics. They're all over the place.
Not twisting, I’m just not one who believes that gays should be in the army and surprised that the IDF would embrace Sodomites.
Ok no problem. I understand. Wish this site had an edit button. Sometimes I wish I could takes things back... Accept my apologies.
